A Prayer

"Laugh at me, Lord. Make light of my pompous and heavy pretentiousness. Let the medicine of your mirth heal while it stings. Dispel the humidity of my ponderous self-concern. Yes, when my thoughts grow tiresome, teach me to laugh with you until together we shatter the tinkling goblets of my emptiness and pride." - author unknown (from Prayers for a New World, ed. by John Wallace Suter, 1964).Thanks to Tom Fisher for this one!
